Software compat for linux is nearly total and complete except for two REAL ANNOYING CATEGORIES:
-
John Deere ass corpo ass software for interfacing with maker devices
-
effing E-Sports and wannabe E-Sports (HUNT)
but all of my weird old crap works just fine HBU
I’m still trying to emulate windows 3.1 games
Wouldn’t using DOSbox or something similar and installing win3.1 on top of that be easier? Or just go the whole distance and use something like PCemu.
Dosbox + Win3.x is an extreme pain in the ass. I have tried. As a result I’m just writing a Linux version of that old program.
it was a sad day when Wine removed their old support for 16bit games. Wine used to run eg. Castle of the Winds just fine, though admittedly there was a very minor graphical glitch with tiling, but the game worked fine.
Now I’m back to just running win3.1 in dosbox for the game :P
I got Populous 3 running perfectly out of the box, when Windows doesn’t really manage it. It’s impressive.
